Connecting device for ignition system of motor vehicle

Abstract

A connecting device for ignition cables and a component in motor vehicle ignition system having a plurality of ignition cables with a L-shape hood of elastic materials which is attached to each of the cable terminals, housing of connecting device with hood supporting member for holding the hood in a mating alignment to outside terminals, and a locking member in the housing.

We claim: 
     
       1. An electrical conductor housing device for an ignition apparatus of a motor vehicle with ignition cables, said device comprising: an electrically non-conductive inverted cup-shaped first housing member with a number of openings in a side wall thereof through which a number of ignition cable end portions extend;   said ignition cable end portions having at least one electric terminal attached thereto, each ignition cable end portion being covered by an L-shaped hood member of elastic material having a first end and a second end; and   an electrically non-conductive second housing member comprising a plate having upper and lower surfaces with a plurality of circular openings therein, each circular opening having an upwardly protruding cylindrical frame member associated therewith, said second housing member engaging said first housing member such that each of said frame members surroundingly engages a second end of said L-shaped hood members, thereby orienting each of said second ends of said L-shaped hood members in a downward direction with respect to the inside of said first housing member.   
     
     
       2. An electrical connector housing device as in claim 1, further comprising; said ignition apparatus having an upper surface with a number of electrically conductive upwardly extending protrusions located thereon, said ignition apparatus engaging said first and second housing members such that each protrusion extends into a second end of said L-shaped hood members and engages the electric terminal associated therewith.
